EBE Develops New Mobile Software for Driver Paperwork

EBE Technologies

EBE Technologies’ Xpress Mobile Capture software allows drivers to submit and monitor the status of driver paperwork, such as delivery, settlement and safety documents, on a mobile device.

Because of XMC’s integration with a carrier’s dispatch, safety and HR Systems, drivers are notified of required documents and are able to validate the accuracy of the documents submitted.

“The XMC application becomes the driver’s automated personal assistant that keeps the driver informed of needed documents and deadlines,” says Larry Kerr, president of EBE Technologies. “Driver satisfaction is positively impacted because they are never surprised by what’s in their settlement check, since they will know instantly if their required paperwork was processed in time.”

XMC can be configured to capture documents such as point of delivery reports; over, short or damaged reports; toll receipts, and compliance documents such as CDLs, insurance certificates and medical cards.

Each document is indexed by the driver at the point of service and sent through to the carrier, where they are automatically validated for accuracy and processed. Drivers can see the status of their documents immediately, and notifications are sent prior to settlement or compliance deadlines if the documents are not received.

The system is intended to reduce the time a driver needs for processing paperwork or checking in on the status of their settlement. The service operates 24 hours a day and submissions are not limited to normal business hours.

XMC also gives drivers a scorecard monitoring how well they are managing their paperwork. Managers can also use the scorecard to monitor paperwork performance. Scorecard options include metrics such as time to scan, required document completion, index accuracy, image quality and time to rescan poor quality documents.
